For the last twenty years, hundreds of women and girls have disappeared from the streets of Cuidad Juarez. Most of these cases remain unsolved mysteries. While Juarez residents cry out for justice, very little has been done.

Theories abound. Some suspect that a human trafficking ring is at work. One theory is that the raping and killing of women off the street is a training exercise for drug cartel initiation. Some cases could be domestic abuse.Other times the violence is directed toward women who are taking a stand for justice or trying to find answers. There is the hope that the first woman attorney general will make a difference.Let’s hope so.
